The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.54 Part 2 Posted by: Eat Uranium 22.10.2018 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we have a render that at first glance might look quite similar to the one posted yesterday. On closer inspection though, you find that it is of the main varient of the ISU-152, the ISU-122: The ISU-122 was a logical modification to the ISU-152. The latter's ML-20S howitzer had had its original carriage used for the A-19 field gun, and this similarity was shared by the ISU mounting. While a prototype had been completed in December of 1943, production of the ISU-122 didn't start until March, when the production of hulls had started to outstrip the production of howitzers. The ISU-122 was used similarly to ISU-152 as an infantry support vehicle, but its greater accuracy soon found it a role as a formidable tank killer. Despite the lighter ammunition, the ISU-122 did not manage a greater rate of fire over its larger armed brother, primarily due to the antiquated design of the breech of the A-19S. An improved version of this gun that solved this issue, the D-25S, was added along with a redesigned mantlet to make the ISU-122S, but large stocks of the older gun meant that both designs remained in production for the rest of the war. The ISU-122 did not have the same kind of post-war longevity as the ISU-152, serving until only the start of the 1960s and not receiving as extensive modifications. In total, 1150 ISU-122s were built, and ours was made by Seth Soldier, who modified our IS-2 made originally by Rad, Toddel and Matt Baker.

The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.54 Part 1 Posted by: Eat Uranium 21.10.2018 19:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. We've had about 5 months now since version 2.53 was released, and we have used this time to make a few changes to the mod to improve your experience. We've even managed to squeeze a little bit of brand new content in too! We are thus excited to announce that Forgotten Hope 2.54 will be going live on: Thursday 25th October 2018 As usual, we'd like to give a big thanks to our players for sticking with us and keeping the servers populated even after all this time. Additionally, we would like to thank our team of betatesters for their dedication to improving our work, as well as our developers for the time and effort they put in to make things happen. Last but not least, none of this would be possible without the web hosting generously provided by Fluestertuete. We mentioned some new content earlier, and here it is: The SU-152 had proven itself as a valuable asset to the Red Army from it's introduction in early 1943. However, by the middle of the year it was recognised that the design would need to be adapted, as the KV-1S chassis that it was built on was being replaced in production by the new IS series. The new ISU-152 replaced the older design in production by December of the same year. Just like it's predecessor, the ISU-152 was primarliy tasked with supporting the infantry in assaults against hardened targets. As such, it was primarily issued with high explosive shells for its 152mm howitzer. While an armour piercing round was developed, these were rare and only slightly more effective against tanks than the blast of the HE shell. The ISU-152 went through several upgrades during and after the war. One of these was the addition of a 12.7mm DShK machinegun on an anti-aircraft mount. In total, 1885 ISU-152s were built during the war (a further 1357 followed after the war and served into the 1970s), and ours was made by Seth Soldier, who modified our IS-2 made originally by Rad, Toddel and Matt Baker. Originally developed in the late 1920's by Vasily Degtyaryov as the magazine fed DK, the weapon was updated in 1938 with an add-on belt feed by Georgi Shpagin to become the DShK. Conceived of as a light anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapon, it would primarily fall into the role of the latter, either tripod mounted, or fixed to the hatch of an IS or ISU. Ours was made by Seth Soldier. Original post here - http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/news.php?id_news=521

Is this the racing car of the future ? The motorsport giant has released a concept video of a true next-generation vehicle known as the MP4-X. As if today's Formula 1 cars weren't futuristic enough, the MP4-X is truly the real deal. Doing away with traditional controls entirely, the impressive vehicle will offer the driver the option to steer using his or her own thoughts thanks to a specially designed brain-computer interface. In place of a regular windscreen, it will feature a heads-up, augmented display with which the driver will be able to keep an eye on the positions of all the other cars in the race. Every component, from the engine to the tyre treads, will be monitored and regulated constantly. Designed by McLaren's advanced solutions arm McLaren Applied Technologies, the new car is primarily a concept at the moment but is based on 'real technology'. "We harnessed the most cutting-edge, avant-garde technological solutions that exist in the world today to create a racecar that could exist in the distant future," the company wrote. "The technology that's been applied to MP4-X is all real, even if it's still in its earliest stages of conception." "McLaren Applied Technologies is at the forefront of the development of these new forms of tech." Source: Evo.co.uk

Resistance is futile ? Researchers have succeeded in hooking together the brains of three people to create a shared network. Known as BrainNet, the remarkable achievement was made possible using a combination of electroencephalograms (EEGs), which record the electrical impulses from brain activity, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which stimulate neurons using magnetic fields. In a recent experiment, two 'senders' had their brains connected up to the network and were asked to control a Tetris-style game by way of staring at one of two different flashing LEDs. A third connected individual - the 'receiver' - was able to pick up the control commands from the other two and use them to rotate the blocks in the game. Across five different groups of participants, an accuracy level of over 80% was achieved. "We present BrainNet which, to our knowledge, is the first multi-person non-invasive direct brain-to-brain interface for collaborative problem solving," the researchers wrote. "The interface allows three human subjects to collaborate and solve a task using direct brain-to-brain communication." In the future, the scientists hope to connect much larger groups of people together in a similar way. Eventually, the technology could result in interconnected brain networks much like that of the Borg - the fictional cybernetic antagonists of the Star Trek franchise. "Our results raise the possibility of future brain-to-brain interfaces that enable cooperative problem solving by humans using a 'social network' of connected brains," the researchers wrote.

Could the Large Hadron Collider destroy our planet ? Astronomer Royal Martin Rees has warned that a failed particle accelerator experiment could prove disastrous. Doomsday predictions are certainly nothing new, but ever since the Large Hadron Collider - Cern's record-breaking atom smasher - first started operations, there have been concerns over what would happen if the particle accelerator managed to inadvertently create a black hole here on Earth. In his latest book On The Future: Prospects for Humanity, Lord Rees has outlined several existential threats to our planet ranging from an asteroid strike to a super-advanced artificial intelligence. In one chapter, he describes several doomsday scenarios involving the Large Hadron Collider. "Maybe a black hole could form, and then suck in everything around it," he wrote. "The second scary possibility is that the quarks would reassemble themselves into compressed objects called strangelets." "That in itself would be harmless. However under some hypotheses a strangelet could, by contagion, convert anything else it encounters into a new form of matter, transforming the entire earth in a hyperdense sphere about one hundred meters across." As if this wasn't bad enough, the atom smasher might even be capable of destroying space itself. "Some have speculated that the concentrated energy created when particles crash together could trigger a 'phase transition' that would rip the fabric of space," Rees wrote. "This would be a cosmic calamity not just a terrestrial one." The likelihood of these scenarios coming to pass however is thankfully extremely small. Source: Yahoo! News
